Seriously, Secretary Clinton?

107. Again, you do not speak on behalf of "the American people".

Your own words are always about what "the American people" are sick of, what "the American people" want, what "the American people" don't want.

You DO understand that "the American people" consists of Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, rich, poor, blue-collar, professionals, liberals, conservatives, centrists, union and non-union workers, HS drop-outs and Ph.Ds, etc? They are also from varying ethnic groups, backgrounds, religious beliefs; some live in urban centers, some in small towns, some in farming communities and some in inner-cities.

And yet you think that "the American people" are all of the same mind, have the same goals, the same ambitions, the same perspective, the same opinions on all issues?

I should read what people are saying? Well, some of them are saying they are doing well, while some are saying they are hurting. Some are saying they want more gov't regulations, while some are saying they want less. Some are happy with the current education system; others are infuriated by it. Some want less immigrants settling here, others want more.

The "American people" covers a lot of territory - and not all of them are saying the same thing.

That's why, when you lecture everyone about what "the American people" like, don't like, are sick of, want to see changed - I can't take you seriously. You are deigning to speak on behalf of 300 million people, as though you have some kind of insight into what each and every one of them thinks - all under the delusion that they ALL think the same thing, and therefore someone on a political message board is in a position to speak for ALL of them.
